Mexico seems to be the cheapest but I read somewhere on a forum about a place in nc for 9,000.

Traumachaser I 100% understand your feelings on that and had I never had my Surgery there I would probably feel the same. I can Honestly say that I have never been treated so well at any Hospital I have been in Stateside, The Hospital was Very Nice with Huge personal rooms with Futons for your guest to sleep in the room with you. 24hr a day access to Valets while you were in the Hospital for 2 days and then Valets to take you on a tour of Mexico for 2 days with a Dr. coming to check on you as well. we really felt like Royalty. Whatever your choice is I wish you Abundant Success.

You Stay at the Hospital 2 days and then days at a Nice Hotel Casino about 20 minutes from the Hospital. My BMI was above 50 so my surgery cost $4,900 but the standard is $4,400 this includes your Companion staying with you. The only thing you have to pay is for your companions meals. I flew in and it was $1,000 for 3 seats round trip. The Hospital has WIFI Roku and Netflix and the Valet is there to take your Companion for meals or will bring them to you. Honestly the Companion Gets a free 4 day Vacation.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
